I barely got through the first episode. I found everyone stupid and the roommate character actually pretty antiquated and offensive.

"Person goes to New York to discover themselves" is the second most insufferable TV trope out there, besides the "genius (cop, doctor, garbage man) who is also a total asshole."

I agree with you completely, and it's why I'm sort of offended that this show has been reduced to its marginal similarities with Disney kiddie crap.* This analysis belongs on Buzzfeed.

I didn't make it very far, either. I can see other people liking it, but it's just not something that's ever going to work for me for the reasons you listed.

I seem to be the only person I know that thought this show was horrendous. I had to turn it off halfway through the first episode because it was just too eager, too twee, and too corny. Every character was a caricature of a real person. So hard to watch.

Hey so who has found a good free online streaming version? I will not pay money to see that movie. I won't.

Wait. Christian Grey played by young James Spader. That I could watch.

Tell me this wouldn't do amazing things for your posture?

Fifty Shades of Grey is making people fifty shades of stupid.

Cocker spaniels have more personality on screen

Joan was a pioneer in making a place for herself in a Hollywood that didn't know quite what to do with her. While "Rabbit Test" was panned for being universally offensive to nearly every segment of the population, there was quite a bit of talk at the time about how unusual it was that a woman had written, produced,…

I was surprised they got into a car accident in MT. I didn't know there were other cars on the road there.

I gotta tell ya, I think the level of vitriol directed toward the Kardashians says a tremendous amount about our society. I don't particularly care for them, which I've said time and time again. I think they're kinda tacky and boring.

I'm surprised as well. People are acting like it's all their fault for being in an accident because 'they have money and should have hired a driver.' What is that?

It seems to be the cool thing over at Gawker to bemoan the fact that everyone is safe. Including the baby.

That's so horrible, but I laughed. We are terrible people.

Agreed - I love JLaw, but this photo failed.

Those pictures of Tina and Rachel make me sad, because Rachel really did fall victim to the non-movie-star looks thing, thanks to the casting people at 30 Rock.
